Training
Dear Alois and Jeff
I recently feel like I have deproved. I always forget to move and my consistency is 10-20%. As a result I always end up playing "safely" or more defensively and then I end up lobbing. How did this happen and how can I overcome it?
Cheers
Hi Oliver,
This happens sometimes. The most important thing is to remain focused and keep training through it. Even the best players feel like this sometimes.
As you develop your confidence the shots will get more attacking and you will stay closer to the table.
The forehand and backhand topspin strokes are two of the most important strokes in table tennis. In lesson 6 you start playing these strokes first by getting someone to throw the ball to you. This makes it easier to get into the correct position and concentrate on the correct start and finish position, and the essential brushing contact. You can then progress to using this in a rally where your training partner learns to block the topspin back.
